Reconsidering the conceptual foundations of governance and national economic management in order to overcome years of adherence to interventionism, statism, and the all-encompassing state — along with the discussion and popularization of the ideas of the Austrian School of Economics — is the central theme of the Second Mises Readings.
The II Conference "Mises Reading — 2025” will be devoted to the assessment and analysis of the crisis of the welfare state model, or the State of general interventionism. Diagnosis and Response of the Austrian School of Economics.
Thematic areas of the conference work:
- Results of the implementation of the welfare state model in developed countries: theoretical, methodological, and historical aspects.
- Economic development in a spiral: IS-LM models or according to the Austrian business cycle theory? Minor, medium, and major depressions are as the “offspring” of Leviathan.
- The AES model of entrepreneurial growth vs. the Mazzucato/Rodrick model of the entrepreneurial state. Sources of scientific, technological, and institutional innovativeness.
- The world after the collapse of the welfare state. What are the chances of the classical West (capitalism), totalitarianism, and the State of general interventionism?
